My D-i-L is a high school guidance counselor and needs fidget toys on her desk to allow her students to avoid eye contact. She loved this one! Actually, she and her husband couldn't put it down when they played with mine, so I gave it to them. :) Love it that it's wood, not plastic.

Playable ART Ball

This is really a gift for someone else, but I did take it out of the package and play with it a bit before wrapping it! It's a good stress reliever and will be a colorful addition to my co-worker's desk.

I liked this so much that I sent it to my grown daughter for Christmas. She liked it too and we spent some time searching for other items by Playable ART. I'm looking for the CUBE next, or maybe the sticks. The colors are my favorite ones.

Fun to try getting it back in the box. We did it.

I adore spheres, I love color, I'm a big kid at heart, and a photographer too... These lovely ball sets are fabulous! (I actually have 3 sets!) I have even used them in my photography.

Well-made with quality materials and vibrant, cheerful colors. Their movement is fluid and smooth. They even detach and snap back together.

I adore them!

The Beyond 123 Story

Art Meets Play

We all know the phrase “look with your eyes, not with your hands.” From a New York company called Beyond 123 comes a collection of pieces made for both decoration and play. Created by three different designers, Playable Art, Shanghai Pickup Sticks, and Playable Metal all have one thing in common—they’re irresistibly touchable. In fact, our testers found them hard to put down.

Created by German designer Bernd Liebert, Playable Art is a series of boldly colored interlocking beechwood balls that can be manipulated in countless artistic shapes and patterns. As useful for keeping fidgety hands busy as it is pleasing to the eye.

A classic game from the past gets a bold new look thanks to Italian artist Fabio Guaricci, the creator of Shanghai Pick Up Sticks. Uncap the cylinder, let the sticks fall gracefully into an arc, and watch as this toy-turned-art piece draws the attention of kids and grownups alike.

A cross between a desk object and a toy, Playable Metal is built to last by Mike Hu, the owner of a Taiwan factory that specializes in metal tools. After watching his son’s beloved lego structures tumble over and break into pieces, Mike was inspired to put his factory equipment to use making a strong, sturdy construction figure that can be taken apart and put back together again in multiple ways. The Playable Metal man can be transformed into a dino, a car, a robot, an animal, or, a beautiful abstract creation of your own design.

Go ahead, reach out and touch these works of art. They're every bit as fun to play with and visually appealing as they look.Read MoreRead Less
